Lowered my tahoe a little over a week ago with 3/4 ton keys and nitro drop shocks. It is currently sitting at 32 3/4 to the fender. I looked at the bumpstops in the front and they were way smashed, I trimmed them about in half. The problem is it still hits bumps pretty hard in front and drivers side bumpstop is still pretty smashed. Plan on changing out the stops to a stop that's about 1 inch will this help it to not ride to rough up front and not hit bumps as hard?. Any other ideas would be great. I love the way the rear rides but not so much the front.

anything after 1 inch the keys ride ruff. No travel. This is why for guys that 1 inch I set it up with keys for more than 1 inch spindles ride a lot better.

the old nitro drop shocks leave a lot to be desired this is why belltech stopped making them years ago. The belltech street performance is the ones i sell for the front I wont touch the nitro or nitro 2 shocks anymore.

If you want the truck to ride good at the height your at now you will need to get spindles. 32 3/4 is like a 3 inch drop in front also from stock. The 3/5 kit i sell sits at 32.5/32.75 with 305 40 22. Not sure what tires you have on it but if its that size or 285 45 22 and your at that height no way you will get a good ride.
